The Babolat STRKR+ paddle focuses on core power, size of sweet spot and extra reach. Maximizing the quality and size of the STRKR+'s center of percussion is achieved from a combination of its unique shape, which helps expand and broaden the sweet spot, with its thinner 13mm Polypropylene Core adding another facet of power. Layered between the polymer core and the friction based surface is Babolat's SWC Pure Feel technology, which boasts excellent vibration control without sacrificing a connected feeling to the ball. Pure Feel combined with the lively core, along with the 3K Woven Carbon Fiber and RPM Grit surface materials produces a crisp feel and some of the best spin potential available. Besides core power and the power sourced from a 16.7 in paddle length Duratech Mono-Molded construction not only adds and refines that power but also strengthens the STRKR +. Although this paddle leans towards easy power from any part of the court, don't be fooled into thinking the STRKR + is a one-trick power paddle. Designed to keep opponents on the right end of the shot leash, the STRKR+ also dispenses plenty of feel for finesse shots, absorbing pace and critical directional changes of the ball. Matching commanding power with striking versatility, Babolat pairs the STRKR+ with a 5.5 in. handle allowing players to use one or two hands on the paddle. For those who like elongated paddles that produce easy power and spin with enough all-court control to keep the competition guessing, you will want to add the Babolat STRKR+ to your paddle arsenal!
